My hunter has the combat-pet version of this adorable pink bird. But sadly, giant pink flamingos aren't very good in raids so for raiding, I have a wolf (boring!). But with this pet, my hunter can always have her fine feathered friend with her, even while raiding!

I wasn't too excited about this pet, even though I was trying hard to get the 75 Pets achievement. I just wanted the achievement and thought the pet itself was pretty lame -- not nearly as cool as Stinker. That all changed when I saw him... with sweet sad eyes and an adorable face, he definitely stole my heart and became one of my favorites. His running animation is also pretty darn cute as he happily bounds along.

There's a repeatable quest once your hit Friendly with Sporregar that is quite easy and not a daily so you can do it as much as you'd like. Bring along some water-walking elixirs and you can zip across the lake to kill nagas and be back in a flash. While this pet is quite small, it's also one of the loveliest -- with it's subtle glow and sprinkling of pink spores. It was also changed in a patch to fly a bit higher -- mid-back on a Draenai -- whereas before it flew at ankle height.

The best thing about this striking pet is that when you throw a ball for him to fetch... he doesn't carry it back to you in his hands, but rather in his mouth! Silly creature -- you've got 2 hands with lovely bracelets on -- why not use 'em?

This is the pet that started my obsessive pet collecting quest. I had only been playing a few weeks and saw someone with this pet in the Stormwind bank. I was blown away. It was the coolest thing I had seen in the game up to that point! I asked how they got the pet and that was it -- nothing would do until I got that pet myself, which I did several months later after obsessive trick-or-treating. I still think it's one of the best pets in the game!

It took me about 800 /chickens to get this pet. While doing so, I got called a "noob" by about 5 different players. I also got /cheered by several players of the opposing faction who were also trying to get this pet. Which just goes to show -- pet collecting has no boundaries and those who don't understand it, probably never will!

I love pets that are large and colorful and the Jubling definitely is both of those. But the best thing about this pet is the sound he makes when you click on him -- it's a trilling almost purring sound that is very un-froglike and adorable.
